Mathematicians Writing for Teachers Conference, Mt. Holyoke College in early summer 2008.

数学家教师写作会议的目标是计划和实施一次会议，在会议上，课堂教师、数学教育工作者、数学家和社区学院教职员工共同努力，考虑关于K-8教师数学教育的内容和教学方法的关键问题。这些讨论的基础将是共同教授实际的专业发展会议，通过观察彼此的教学，以及通过基于观察和录像带的汇报教学会议。与会者将为K-8教师制定一套新兴的专业发展原则和方法，将重要的数学内容和想法与课堂教学联系起来。

The goal of the Mathematicians Writing for Teachers Conference is to plan and implement a conference at which classroom teachers, mathematics educators, mathematicians, and community college faculty work collaboratively to consider critical questions about content and pedagogy in the mathematics education of K-8 teachers. These discussions will be grounded by co-teaching actual professional development sessions, through observing each other teaching, and through debriefing teaching sessions based on observations and videotape. The participants will produce an emerging set of principles and approaches to professional development for K-8 teachers that connect important mathematics content and ideas to classroom teaching and learning.
